Pardon my French, but Mr. Salazar is an #@@!
I can't believe the Democrats haven't been getting hammered far, far more on this issue. More drilling (supply) does not equal lower prices??? And they say this with straight faces. And they're the party that voters trust more on issues of the economy??? Truly amazing (and depressing).
I hope this winter starts early.
$5/gallon heating oil will make voting for Democrat green ideologues very difficult in the blue states of the northeast.
And sadly, they deserve to shiver for their past stupidity.
